Jason Bales highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 4/2/17, as well as a couple of sleepers to keep in mind while building your roster.
This is the last NBA slate before a day off on Monday, as MLB has their big opening day. Three teams will play today, but MLB really starts on Monday. NBA will pick back up on Tuesday.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/2/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Tyler Ulis - PG, vs HOU ($6,400)
Tyler Ulis has been playing huge minutes for the Phoenix Suns over his last few games, and that will continue tonight against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are an uptempo team, as are the Suns, so this should be a very high-scoring game. Ulis has over 35 fantasy points in three consecutive games now, making him a solid option in all leagues. He also has great upside, as he recently posted over 40 fantasy points against the Detroit Pistons.
Jeremy Lin - PG, vs ATL ($4,900)
The Atlanta Hawks are ranked 24th in the league against opposing point guards, and Jeremy Lin should be able to take advantage of that tonight. He has great upside, especially at his price tag. In his last three games, he has at least 25 fantasy points in all of them. This could be the start of LinSanity 2.0. Against the Atlanta Hawks, three games ago, he posted over 35 fantasy points in 28 minutes. Fantasy owners will be looking for a repeat performance.
Also Consider: Jordan Crawford - SG, vs CHI ($3,700)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Kawhi Leonard - SF, vs UTA ($9,400)
This should be an interesting game, as both the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz have solid defenses. Kawhi Leonard is almost unguardable, so rostering him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments is not out of the question. In his last four games, he has over 45 fantasy points in three of them. At his price tag, that is very solid production. He posted over 50 fantasy points in 38 minutes in his last game, which was against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will look to continue to ride his current hot streak.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson - SF, vs ATL ($5,000)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson makes for a great pairing with Jeremy Lin. The Atlanta Hawks are also ranked 24th in the league against opposing small forwards, making Hollis-Jefferson usable in all leagues. His price tag is very reasonable, especially for his recent production level. RHJ has over 25 fantasy points in five of his last five games. He posted over 30 fantasy points in four of those five contests. Do not hesitate to roster him in all leagues.
Also Consider: Thaddeus Young - PF, at CLE ($4,500)
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins - C, vs CHI ($9,600)
DeMarcus Cousins looks like he may have finally figured out how to play with Anthony Davis. In his last game, he posted over 60 fantasy points against his former team, the Sacramento Kings. Tonight, he gets a good matchup against the Chicago Bulls. He hsa over 55 fantasy points in three of his last four games, over 60 fantasy points in two of those games, and he even posted over 70 fantasy points in 37 minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies. Cousins, after a brief period of stagnation, is back!
Also Consider: Dwight Howard - C, at BKN ($7,600)
